The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.

Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.

Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Shipping Weight

The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width &amp; height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

2. Enzymes to Assist in Nutrient Digestion and Absorption: Optimal functioning of the gastrointestinal tract ensures that digestion and absorption ok key nutrients happens efficiently. Greens Protein 8 in 1 contains both alpha and beta amylases with four additional plant proteases. This unique combination promotes digestion of starches and vegetable proteins in the various pH ranges of the body's digestive system.

The cellulase enzyme in our blend may assist with the digestion of cellulose for those with sensitivity to high cellulytic content to help decrease bloating and gas. HemiSeb contains a special blend of xylanase, beta-glucanases, phytase and other hemicellulases reducing the viscosity of foods in the stomach, the result being better absorption and greater bioavailability of nutrients.

3. Hypoallergenic Pea Protein Isolate is a pant based protein that yields a high biological value of (BV) (65.4%). The BV is an accurate indicator of the biological activity of protein. It measures the actual amount of protein deposited per gram of protein absorbed. High BV proteins are a great choice for increased nitrogen retention, enhanced immunity and IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor) stimulation. They are superior for reducing lean tissue loss from various wasting states than proteins with a low BV score. Most of the greens drinks available on the market today contain little or no protein and may help balance the vegetable carbohydrates and protein ratio needed for healthy nutrition.

4. Patented Fiber Protection: The recommended daily fiber intake, based on a 2000-calorie diet, is 25 grams per day for woman and 38 grams per day for men. Most American diets rarely achieve this goal. Beneficial aspects of dietary fiber include decreased intestinal transit time, increased pancreatic secretions, improved intestinal flora and aid decreasing serum lipid levels. (cholesterol).

5. Antioxidant Protection: Antioxidants are our best defense against the damaging effects of free radicals on our cells. It is vital to include adequate amounts of antioxidant-rich nutrients, like those found in fresh vegetables, to assist in fighting free radicals.

Greens Protein 8 in 1 contains nutrient-dense cereal greens, vegetables, herbal extracts and fruits which may provide antioxidant protection. Each servings contains the antioxidant activity of over 7 cups of fresh fruits and vegetables! We don't just say our product offers great antioxidants, we measure it using the Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) lab test. The ORAC test specifically measures the scavenging capacity of antioxidants in nutrients against the peroxyl radical; one of the most common reactive oxygen species. It is estimated that a scant 10% of the U.S. population consumes the recommended USDA Food plate of 4.5 cups of fruits and vegetables per day. This means that 90% of Americans do not meet the minimum standards! The average servings of fruits and/or vegetables yields approximately 500 ORAC units studies suggest that to provide meaningful antioxidant health benefits, you need at least 2,400 to 3,000 ORAC units in your daily diet. Greens Protein 8 in 1 may offer antioxidant protection by providing 4161 ORAC units per servings!

6. Gentle Detoxification & Cleansing: Greens Protein 8 in 1 contains amino acids and herbal detoxifiers to maintain healthy blood and may help remove destructive toxins, such as heavy metals and pollutants. These toxins can gradually weaken our tissues and lead to disease unless removed from our bodies daily.

7. Probiotics are friendly bacteria that play an important role in digestion, proper metabolism and overall health. Current scientific literature supports that regular use of probiotics may promote normal digestive health and may help to restore a healthy intestinal balance.

Contains fiber and digestive enzymes which may contribute to healthy digestion and regularity.

Provides protection against free radicals.

May increase energy levels naturally without the use of stimulants.

Provides a wide variety of nutrients to support healthy cellular metabolism.

Provides nutrients for brain health.

Establishes proper pH in the intestines leading to a healthy colon environment.

Suggested Use

Add one (1) scoop to six ounces of juice or water and shake or blend to desired consistency. Greens Protein 8 in 1 can be taken once daily. As with any fiber-rich drink, always follow with a full glass of water immediately afterwards. Settling may occur.
